After almost 4 years, the (originally) Rockstar RX-7 is retiring. It is just not worth fixing anymore, so that meant i had to get a new shell. This is my third shell and also my third Tamiya RX-7, i just love the look and detail of it. For now it'll just be PS-4 blue until we make a desicion on the livery for our team. I have a lot of fresh idea's and am inspired as hell after all those years looking at the RX7 owners forum

The package:

Cut out and made a raw sketch of the '93 spec bumper lights.Still working on it though.

Mock-up of the head lights: Inspiration:

Don't have drills at the moment, so i'm kinda stuck here, but it gives me the time to read tutorials on how to paint a shell again

More to come later, have lot's of idea's for this streeto like machine

Unfortunatly no Due to a mistake while switching health insurance companies, i had to pay two company's instead of only the new one, so i'm still waiting to get back the money from the old company Should have it back this month though!

The diffuser is almost finished, just some clean up to do now. Sideskirts are both finished and i've masked the shell! I'll be painting it tomorrow RX7 looks happy!

When it comes to wheels, my plans were to paint the OTA-R TE37 wheels white, but after 5 times of painting and failing i gave up, i've never had so much trouble with spray painting rims before So that left me with only one choice, new rims! My eyes fell on the Top Line Mars N-model ver. 2:

Made some progress!Painted the mirrors and wing, unfortunately the clear coat on the wing is not very neat, but it's doable:Body completely painted!The best of a new body, shinyness 8) Sideskirts fitted and lip has been sprayed matte:Headlights on for the looks

Need to get some shoe goo this week to glue accessorys in. Still some work to do for next weekend

Thanks a lot guys, i do my best! Made some progress this week, although i'm not able to get it completely finished before sunday(Round 2 D1:10), but i'll have to use it since the RX7.8 is trashed Made an exhaust from an old marker:Diffuser mounting system, only needs something at the back of the diffuser to keep it stable:Lights put on with poster buddies, because i haven't made the light system yet, so that'll some later:My favorite rims so far!

Don't know, i do have some spots that lack paint after last drift day, but luckily it's mostly in the lip, so i can just put some tamiya x- paint behind it. If i don't use this much paint the light can shine through and i was afraid the color would turn too dark if it wasn't backed properly
